Karthik Chronicles

I agree that the title seems to be a bit cocky but not as funny as you might think it is. I was actually trying to tell about the new Operating System released by C-DAC(stands for Centre for Developmentt of Advanced Computing). It seems to have been developed with the help of the Central Government and Tamil Nadu State Government. I found this advertisement in The New Indian Express.

This has become quite monotonous but I really don’t complain. The messenger has recently gone under a UI change and that means it is looking a bit better now and when it’s a UI change pictures say more than words.

As I was typing this post I thought of checking with the Live site to see if I got any new invites and I was amazed to see that they have a new login page, I think it maybe because the Live messenger was on but I doubt that have a look.

I see that Microsoft is desperately attempting to make the Live messenger look perfect with Vista and with XP. The new UI is surely looking good but the header image of the UI reminds me of one of those Apple OSX wallpaper.

After lot of waiting Qwerty invited me to the windows beta (I will also review the Linux version if it has any changes). It looks great first you have to install it and I faced a tough problem installing it, then I came to conclusion that the problem was the sidebar extension the Firefox which was creating the problem so I went ahead and uninstalled it.

Yes its Krugle time again as I got a reply for beta testing though I have’nt been given the chance to beta test it but its great to see that I may get it. As ealier I had said that it seems like coders google I will have to change my statements its definately different and somewhat better in terms of the searches. You can directly get the codes for various types of programming languages and other scripts. It seems the search is very comprehensive and has many different options. The thing is also I refered it to being mostly useful for Open source guys but I guess I was wrong, if you are doing anything programming languages or scripts krugle can help easily. Now here is a bit from the E-mail I recived from them.

Okay as we know google is on a widespread mission to acquire anything it sees it has jumped up to acquire sketchUp. For everyone’s information SketchUp is an 3d doftware used to make models and other stuff. Now the most important thing is that the proggie was not free it is available for $495. These guys had developed a plugin for google earth and that is why i guess google liked them and took them into its hood. Actually Google has not only acquired the software but the @last company itself which means google has nice control over it. It seems there have been no big changes and they are still working as they were before the acquisition. This shows that Google has some hidden plans for sketchUp and its creators which we might see in future. Google always hides something while acquiring new things.
